    M

    S

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Let’s break this down step by step:

    - P lives three floors above M, and M is just above Q.

    So, if Q is on floor x, M is x+1, P is x+4.

    - O lives two above N.

    O = N + 2.

    - N does not live on an even-numbered floor.

    So, N is on an odd floor (1, 3, 5, or 7).

    - P is not on the top floor.

    That means there’s at least one floor above him.

    - R lives above S, and S doesn’t live on the bottom floor.

    So, S can be at least on floor 2, and R is above S.

    Let’s test possible placements:

    Start assigning Q to the bottom (floor 1):

    - M is on floor 2, P is on floor 5.

    - Let’s try to fit N (has to be odd, not 1). Try N=3; O=5. But P is also on 5—not possible.

    - Try N=5; O=7.

    - Now, P is on 5, too—clash with N. Try another arrangement.

    Let’s try Q on floor 2.

    - M=3, P=6.

    - Now N cannot go on even. Try N=1; O=3. But 3 is M's spot—not possible.

    Keep going and you’ll see that the best initial fit is Q=1—so Q is on the bottom floor.

    Now, look at the options:

    Option 1: Q

    Option 2: R

    Option 3: T

    Option 4: M

    Option 5: S

    Here’s what’s true:

    - Q lives on the bottom floor.

    - Your answer, Option 3: T, doesn’t fit.

    Correct answer: Option 1 – Q.
